So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX

Saw a few videos of some MAGAs trying to act like there was nothing wrong with Elon's salute by saying that their heart goes out to him, but doing the same salute slowly and with their palm upwards instead. Because they know. They know Elon's salute looks like a Nazi salute and they didn't want to copy it exactly.

And then there were a few who did it just like Elon did, and their employers found out (or were sent the video) and fired them.

• The Monitors at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) were hacked to display an AI-generated video of Trump sucking on Elon Musk’s toes, with the caption "LONG LIVE THE REAL KING."

Check your own platform of choice to see the footage!? Telegraph reporting on it as well!

Was wondering why someone put up a warning not to click on 'HUD' trending link!

My work doesn’t require me to address cheering crowds (sadly perhaps). I already posted a series of pictures of other people doing the same though.

You were caught out with those stills pretty quickly… The only ones I've seen repeating the gesture are the GOP who are well aware of how it's being read.

I think they’re ALL taken out of context. That’s my point. The idea that Musk, crazed narcissist that he is, is a Nazi, is silly, and devalues the word Nazi. It’s just another version of Godwin.

I think the Antidefamation League, whose mission is to fight Nazism and anti semitism, are more apt to judge than a bunch of Irish posters getting their knickers in a twist about things of which they have no experience. And the ADL have said they don’t see Musk’s gesture as being Nazi.

Moreover Musk has done enough actual stuff to criticise - children with multiple women some of whom appear to have been under some degree of duress for example, without needing to bring in Nazism, which is a whole other level of evil.

It’s funny really: I find myself in the position of someone saying that physical violence is different from calling someone a bad name then being accused of supporting physical violence.

But it’s the posters doing that who minimise the reality of what the Nazis did. Not me.

It is Musk who trivialises what the Nazis did, by using a Nazi salute to troll people who still care about such things.

He is a racist Nazi dog whistler who by such conduct mainstreams neo Nazis.

Also, Musk has been criticised on this thread for all his other reprehensible conduct too.

Dig up man. For god's sake.

🙄

Massive corruption uncovered involving conflict of interest and George Soros.

I'm sure Joe will be on his knees gargling like the navy just hit town.

It's normalisation.

Putting Musk's insecurities aside for a moment, we also saw Bannon do the Nazi salute. This will gradually increase. They are attempting to minimize the most extreme views to make theirs seem "normal".

It can’t be said enough, what a c***.

OP

Musk needs to stop worrying about these things. He should be focusing on landing in Mars in 2024.

I'd rather they try to colonise the Sun.

Since it's a Monday, Elon is calling this senator—a former astronaut and veteran—a traitor.
